[R] solving equation

[Spencer Graves]

      Have you considered making contour plots, e.g., using "contour"?  
See also Venables and Ripley, Modern Applied Statistics with S. 

      Your function is a parabola opening up.  For this, you can obtain 
the axes of the ellipse, etc., using eigen.  The eigenvalues can then 
tell you how far out in these axes you can go. 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
